Pol Espargaro took his first Moto2 pole position in qualifying for the British Grand Prix at Silverstone.

Behind the Pons Kalex rider, Iannone was 0.385 seconds slower on his Speed Master Speed Up, while Marc VDS Kalex man Redding - his last lap ruined when he came across a slowing Thomas Luthi at Chapel - fell to third by the end.

Bradley Smith made it two British riders inside the top four on his Tech 3, while Marc Marquez (Monlau Suter) and Claudio Corti (Italtrans Kalex) completed the top six.
